A dynamic award-winning chorus which enjoys performing, and the thrill of competition whether at home or abroad. See gallery below for our recent trips

We sing a cappella (unaccompanied harmony) and belong to the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers

Performing at private or public events, we support community groups and nominate a charity each year. In 2018 we are delighted to support the Stockport Foodbank, and we will be helping them fundraise and generate awareness throughout the year at various events.

Monica is a high achiever and sings bass with 2015 Quartet Champions PZAZZ, having previously won gold medals in quartet with Peppercorn, Checkmate and Indigo Blue; also gold awards with renowned choruses, the White Rosettes and Cheshire Chord Company.

Monica brings infectious energy, an enthusiasm for great music and a passion for good singing to our Thursday evenings!

Our Committee

To ensure smooth running of the club, we have a dedicated team to manage all aspects of chorus life - from membership and money matters, to public relations and events, to bookings and wardrobe as well as music and performance teams.

Book Us

We enjoy performing at public and private events including weddings, festivals and other special occasions. Our songs are diverse, from classics to beautiful ballads, or arrangements from films or shows. They are often enhanced by movement. As the songs are tailored to suit the event, each performance is different.
